The past 25 years has seen world oil sales increase 50% since 1986. Freeing the communist block has consequences like consumers who can afford an energy-supported lifestyle. The forecast for this year is oil will be used at a daily rate of 89 million barrels a day. The increases aren’t likely to drop worldwide anytime soon.
